Default Carrier brass wing nuts
Has anyone found out where to buy the old style brass 5/16 wing nuts for the tool clamps yet ? If not are there other options e.g not using brass what about the shape . Dale

I bought a couple of bags of metal 3/8" BSF wing nuts from eBay. Their profile matched my original ones. And other then not having a part # on it they look the same. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.

Jordan; Australian carriers use a majority of UNF and BA fasteners. their wing nuts are UNF. (ANF)
